Proliferative Effects of Estradiol, Progesterone, and Two CB Congeners and Their Metabolites on Gray Seal (Halichoerus grypus) Uterine Myocytes in Vitro [PDF]

Toxicological Sciences, 2003
Gray seal females living in the Baltic Sea have been found to exhibit a high prevalence of uterine leiomyomas. These animals are also known to accumulate lipid-soluble PCBs in their blubber. PCBs have documented endocrine-disrupting effects; to investigate whether the PCBs could be part of the genesis of uterine smooth muscle tumors in this species ...

Mixture of dominant PBDE congeners (BDE-47, -99, -100 and -209) at levels noted in human blood dramatically enhances progesterone secretion by ovarian follicles

Endocrine Regulations, 2010
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as flame retardants in a wide variety of products. They show an accumulation pattern similar to that of well-known persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and others. So far, most of information showing adverse effects of various POPs was based on the exposure to

Timing of maternal exposure and fetal sex determine the effects of low-level chemical mixture exposure on the fetal neuroendocrine system in sheep [PDF]

, 2016
We have shown that continuous maternal exposure to the complex mixture of environmental chemicals (ECs) found in human biosolids (sewage sludge), disrupts mRNA expression of genes crucial for development and long-term regulation of hypothalamo-pituitary ...
